My question to those that went with the lease, did you have a hefty rent charge? I've never leased before, and was thinking this was a zero percent lease, and when I specifically asked the F&I gal what a rent charge is she mumbled something that didn't seem to indicate interest. The rent charge on the GSW I got was $1764, pretty stiff for a two year lease me thinks, but I'm new to this.
I knew up front about the $625 lease acquisition fee eating into the $8500 discount, but this extra rent charge really reduced the advantage of a lease over the sixty month 0% financing. Did I get taken by some non-standard terms, was there a mistake, or is this normal?
BTW, I thought the first payment was due at signing, even asked her about that, but they never took a check from me despite the fact that the paperwork says it was due the date of sale (5/19). Also, because I did not drive the car off the lot yet (didn't have a second driver with me), and not paid, is the deal officially consummated? I know they considered it to be, and really wanted me to take it instead of my old (2015!) GSW.
